Ways To Give

WAYS TO GIVE

Planned gifts have significant tax benefits and best of all, enable individuals the joy of making a much larger gift than they could ever imagine. Planned gifts
to the Akron Area YMCA Endowment Foundation are designated to the general fund or to a particular program or branch.

Gifts of Cash

Gifts of cash are generally fully tax deductible to the extent allowed by law and a tax form will be supplied to you. If your employer "matches gifts", your
gift will be worth even more! Please check with your Human Resources department and enclose any matching gift paperwork with your donation.

Please mark the branch or program that would best fit your donation and send check or
credit card information to:

After you have contacted Toby, please send an email to the YMCA to state which fund was chosen and how much stock or securities were donated along with the
date. Please include donor name and address. This will help to provide the donor with a tax receipt.

Gifts of Life Insurance

If you have an insurance policy you no longer find useful, receive a charitable deduction for the cash value of the policy when you donate it to the Akron Area
YMCA. Another way to donate your life insurance policy is to change the beneficiary of your life insurance policy to the Akron Area YMCA.

Bequest

By remembering the Akron Area YMCA or a specific branch in your estate planning and by letting the Y know you will become a member of the Heritage Club. Please
send your updated estate planning information to:

Give a Matching Gift

Many employers offer a matching gift program, which can double or even triple your gift. These programs not only match gifts given by employees, but also may
match gifts given by company directors, employee spouses and retired employees.

To participate in your company's matching gift program, visit your human resources office to obtain a matching gift form. Complete it and send it along with
your gift to the Akron Area YMCA. We will notify your company of your contribution, and you can enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you've doubled your giving power
without breaking a sweat!

Give a Gift in Honor or in Memory of a Friend or Loved One

Make a gift in honor or in memory of a friend or loved one by using your choice of contribution type, and we'll send a note announcing your gift. Just let us
know on whose behalf the gift is made, and to whom the note should be sent.

Named Funds

Gifts to the Akron Area YMCA Endowment Foundation are made to the general fund. Each year the Foundation Board determines the distribution in conference with
the YMCA's leadership, or to the fund of a specific branch. There are also opportunities to provide an endowment for specific YMCA programs (such as camp
scholarships) or positions (such as teen directors).

Donors may establish a named fund through a gift of $10,000 or more.

For more information on the Akron Area YMCA Endowment Foundation, current or planned gifts toward the endowment, membership in
the Heritage Club, opportunities for named funds and confidential illustrations that fit your personal financial situation and goals, please contact Brian Bidlingmyer at
